Like thunder falling on a rainy day, Haina suddenly woke up from her dream with a jolt.
She was standing among the dark trees at the moment, and the air was filled with the sticky smell of blood - that was the smell of blood.
Haina still clearly remembers this rain of blood.
On the day Her Majesty Queen Isabel was attacked, there was such a rain of blood on Glass Island.
At this moment, she suddenly felt waves of trembling.
It was as if someone quietly pulled out a pistol from behind her back and pointed it at her heart - that strong sense of danger made her instantly awake and alert.
Haina turned around and looked in the direction of the danger.
The next moment, she saw thunder falling like rain.
I saw a lizard man with a hideous and terrifying face, transformed into thunder, holding a halberd, charging towards the giant whose body was burning with flames!
Haina happened to recognize the halberd in his hand—it would be better to say that she had even held it in her own hand.
That is the natural weapon used by the Punishment Demon, a halberd that can attract thunder from the sky when raised above the head!
It instantly attracted Haina's attention.
But the next moment, Haina's eyes were completely absorbed by the lizard man's martial arts!
It was a set of extremely smooth, coherent blows with both power and beauty!
The giant, as terrifying as the Demon God of Purgatory, retreated continuously under his blows.
"Is this...Lightning Strike? And Power Slam?"
Haina vaguely understood one or two moves from the lizard man's weapon swing.
That was a combat skill that she had mastered after years of hard training - and so far, she had not even had the chance to use it a few times.
This move originally required accumulating energy, but the lizard man had an uncanny way of incorporating the process of accumulating energy into the execution of other combat skills. And "Lightning Strike" also requires a special stance.
, and also required that the attack speed must be increased to a certain level...but he used the ending of another move to exactly meet the needs of this move.
That's right...it can't be wrong.
——That is the skill of "combination"!
When Haina was in school, she heard about this extraordinary skill from her teacher.
This is a fighting technique unique to those dexterous extraordinary beings such as assassins and monks - by connecting a variety of different moves in a special combination and connection, it greatly reduces the need for using combat skills.
Explode stronger power in a shorter period of time!
However, it is reasonable for extraordinary beings who use daggers and unarmed attacks to learn combo skills. After all, these weapons are very light and short, their moves are quite similar, and they are easy to control.
...But this lizard man can actually use a heavy and deformed long-handled weapon like a "halberd" so lightly to carry out violent combos as coherent as flowing water and endless as a storm!
It didn't feel like killing, but more like dancing - not a gentle dance, but a dance full of power and vitality, praising the sun!
Haina's eyes did not blink, looking greedily at how the tiny figure destroyed the huge demon, hoping that she could remember these tricks in her heart and not forget them when she leaves the dream...
But at this moment.
A voice that was extremely familiar to her—even so familiar that she was startled—suddenly sounded from beside her.
"Young Arbiter...
"Do you want to...become a [Warrior]?"
Although the sound was deliberately blurred, it seemed to come from the depths of the echo-filled corridor, with a faint sound of wind and thunder...
But Haina heard it clearly.
——That is definitely the voice of Minister Aiwass!
"Who are you?"
She shouted in shock but not fear.
Although she suddenly heard a familiar voice, she wasn't too surprised - after all, she was dreaming now.
She didn't know why she suddenly woke up...but since she was in a dream, it wouldn't be surprising to hear a familiar voice.
"I am [Xingchen]."
Aiwass's voice became clearer. Even the hollow and fuzzy echo disappeared, as if Aiwass was standing next to him talking.
In an instant, she saw an empty white robe emerging from in front of her.
There was nothing in the white robe, but it looked like someone was wearing it. There was only a dark mist in the hood.
But looking at the vague human figure outlined in the white robe, Haina felt that it looked more and more like Minister Aiwass...
But at this moment, she was shocked - an extremely sacred and great feeling fell from the sky, making her feel a sense of awe for no reason.
Without any basis or information, she suddenly knew in her heart that the self-proclaimed "Star" in white robe was the incarnation of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, an apostle or something else.
"The way of the 'warrior' was buried in history."
The white robe spoke, and the clear young voice sounded from her ears: "It once belonged to the Pillar God of the Path of [Strength], the Supreme Heaven."
The white robe "walked" forward slowly - when it was pacing forward, the lizard man warrior happened to kill the huge flaming demon!
The rushing electric light and flames surged in like ocean waves, and the empty white robe was peeled off into a vague, hallucinatory human form.
The straight back, waist-length hair, broad and powerful shoulders. And the arms that naturally open to both sides as he paces slowly, as if he wants to embrace someone in front of him.
Haina was lost for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses.
...Wait, the highest heaven?
She trembled, and there was fear in her eyes - she did know this secret, but this secret could not be told in Avalon!
However, the transparent soul wearing a white robe, who was suspected to be Aiwass, still walked forward: "He was once the protector of the giants. They were a cannibal race that had been living on Avalon Island two thousand years ago.
.Whether they are humans, dwarves, lizardmen or elves, they are all on the giant's diet.
"——It wasn't until five hundred years ago that the Silver Crowned Dragon led the gods to defeat the Supreme Heaven, and the kingdom of giants collapsed and was defeated by the Knights of the Round Table. Hence the Avalon of today.
"Before the destruction of the Kingdom of Giants, there was the most widely employed extraordinary profession in the world...
"They are the extraordinary beings with the lowest threshold, and they are also the first extraordinary profession.
"Take 'war' as your destination and 'battle' as your duty. Anyone who actively or passively uses force can embrace it. No books, no teachings, no mentors, no materials are needed, even if they are
Even a countryman can be employed - as long as he has the courage to face battle.
"Facing danger, savoring suffering, and singing hope - adapting to difficulties and obstacles, stimulating the original power of life, and awakening the survival essence of animals...
"The purpose of fighting is for a better survival. In order to survive, change yourself, adapt to the environment, master violence, and gain the ability to hurt others or prevent being hurt by others..."
The man in white robe suddenly stopped.
He finally spoke:
"——This is, [Warrior]."
Haina looked up and noticed that she had walked out of the forest at some point.
At this time, she was standing on the cliff, overlooking the land in the distance.
Continuous battle cries and fighting sounds were heard, as loud as thunder.
It was a brutal war between a group of lizard people and a group of winged races.
